I blinked twice when I read the card handed to me by the man at the folding card table. I'd heard of Flash Mildew, but I always thought he shared a reality with the Tooth Fairy and Peter Pan. Yet, here he was in the flesh.

"Boring Ally Counters" got me:

"When a museum accident transports Ally on an adverture back in time to explore the terrain and territory of life-size dinosaurs, she is thrust literally nose-to-nose with the largest and most realistic dinosaur ever to appear on a movie screen - the fearsome 20-foot tall, 15-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex."

I need a ruling here. Newbie had to dig five pages to find something good, but I keep hitting the first or second entry like Hank Aaron on a curveball. Do I win?

Back to the JLA set, I tried a breakfast of:

power-up cardboard heaven

I got this, second entry:

Maybe they're there to punish us for buying their game. Maybe they're a test, or some kind of elaborate trick. Maybe they're there to make the other items look better by comparison, like how old women let their chihuahuas pee on their laps to make their perfume smell THAT much better. Because if you think flowers and rubbing alcohol smell nice, wait until you smell them after sticking your nose in a lap of pee. It's like rosy-scented heaven.

well, stu, first off, you made this game, so i would assume that you get to make the rules.
as for you getting first or second entry intersting stuff and Newbie having to go 5 pages, i guess you beat him.

kooey burn gorilla gave a list of 2 pages of fictional countries. pretty cool.

Bongo Congo - African Kingdom in cartoon King Leonardo and his Short Subjects
Booty Island - a pirate island in the Carribean in the second Monkey Island game, part of the Tri-Island area (governed by Elaine Marley)
Borduria - Eastern European dictatorial country in Tintin comics
Brainania - Pinky and the Brain

Ahhh... the smell of Godhood in the morning.

Here's the rule: The deeper you dig, the more points you get. Newbie wins the thread.

Don't worry, the rules will change daily.

Too easy to cheat. I went straight to the 18th page with

Rules Change Daily

I got:

"There's a whole bunch of wasted beer that's being dropped on the floor," Steve Wagner with Coors Brewing said.

You could have the most obscure thing on the first page of results. That would make things easier I think.

Sometimes the first page doesn't tickle enough.

New rule: Anything goes. You are not allowed to tell us what page it was on.

Ally Secret Gang

"The gang, rightly understood, is our ally, not our enemy. ... That is the simple secret of the success of the club, the brigade, in winning back the boy."

Obscure AND educational:

Many Americans consider Woody Guthrie's song "This Land Is Your Land," penned in 1940, to be our unofficial national anthem. Guthrie was a radical with strong ties to the Communist Party. He was inspired to write the song as an answer to Irving Berlin's popular "God Bless America," which he thought failed to recognize that it was the "people" to whom America belonged. The words to "This Land Is Your Land" reflect Guthrie's fusion of patriotism, support for the underdog and class struggle. In this song Guthrie celebrates America's natural beauty and bounty but criticizes the country for its failure to share its riches, reflected in the song's last and least-known verse:

One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the relief office I saw my people.
As they stood hungry I stood there wondering
If this land was made for you and me.


The words:

Cool game! I'm now more scarred by the internet than ever before! woohoo! Lantern Gorilla Pirate gave me

"to see the werewolf in the Waldorf Salad or Brussels sprouts as gorilla tonsils."

Mmmmm, gorilla tonsils.

how about fewest results?

See, Carol had Star Sapphire living inside her as a separate entity. ... Plus Booster started to get jealous at how much time Beetle spent hanging out with ...

14) UK: Police get new shoot-to-kill powers
Independent [UK]

"Scotland Yard's 'shoot to kill' strategy has been widened to include
other offences such as kidnapping, stalking and domestic violence, The
Independent has learned. However, the decision to shoot a suspect in
the head without the marksman giving a warning would only be used
under exceptional circumstances, one of the country's most senior
police chiefs said yesterday. The Operation Kratos shoot-to-kill
policy was adopted to deal with suicide bombers but a review has
identified other types of crimes in which a firearms officer could
shoot to kill without issuing any challenge." (10/25/05)



watch out Timmy.
